What are you doing this Lent to walk your journey of faith? Though she did not “give up” anything so to speak, Mary Wallace is growing in holiness through the internal shifts in thoughts and prayer. Here are a few things that you may want to try, if you are still struggling with the journey.

In the midst of chaos, there is the memory of a dream, of a calling. Mary Wallace reflects on how being born to be a mom hasn’t made it easier in her real-life look inspired by the film Moms’ Night Out.

When questioned about what to tell her girls about working and motherhood at the Atlanta Catholic Business Conference, Dr. Mary Wallace ponders her answer. Was it enough? What would I tell the girls about the vocations that seem to compete?

This is something I am struggling with: being a momma and working. In some of the worse moments, it looks like chaos. In the best moments, it is like warm homemade buttered bread. I would love to know your strategies to prioritize, making sure to keep family first.

Are you one of the Catholic women this year who had that “unChristmas” feeling? Did you believe you missed the mark for the Advent Season? Do you remember that God is still a God of LOVE and the Church gives us so many opportunities to celebrate our faith and to evangelize? Join Mary Wallace as she discusses her UnChristmas feeling, and how she plans to change her vice into virtue, in order to grow closer to Our Lord.
